Intuit announced that they will no longer be selling NEW licenses to QuickBooks Desktop Premier. What this means for you:

• By July 2024 you must be using a Subscription version NOT the CD/Standalone version

• Beginning August 1st, 2024 only QB Enterprise will be sold for Desktop users

The annual subscription rate for QB Desktop Premier is $949. QB Enterprise Silver (which is the basic version) is $1,128 per user when purchased through your friendly ProAdvisor. So, Intuit is phasing out QB Desktop Premier and replacing it with QB Enterprise.

Of course, Intuit is trying to force everyone to migrate to QB Online. However QB Online Plus (which is the version with Inventory and budgets) is $1,080 for 1 to 5 users so it is not necessarily a lower cost option. As I have discussed in previous blog posts, QB Online is not powerful enough for a winery with over about 3,000 case annual production. Read the Blog Post
